Three/five ticket winners on a fresh roll. Keep going?
At a vending machine I bought a five dollar Jumbo Bucks ticket. Every number was a match with two dollars underneath for a total of $30. After that I proceeded to get to more jumbos with a total of about $55 in winnings. So out of five tickets I just bought three of them were winners to gave me jumbo symbols and my question now is should I keep going and buy some more? I know odds are is probably not that great however I was thinking this could be the so called hot roll . So what would

Smart lottery selling technique.Reply
I'd find a way to make machine beep if it happens, and discard the ticket, and then I'd ask person to change combination the problem with this idea is that duplicate ticket might be a winner. There are times where the jackpot is won by more then one ticket with the same number combination. Take last weeks powerball drawing as an example, two winning tickets were sold, one in AZ and the other in MO. Lets say a winning ticket was sold in MO first, if people used your idea and decide not to

$425 MILLION: Largest Powerball lottery jackpot in historyReply
I purchased my Powerball ticket about 15 minutes ago. There was a short line, but the store has two lottery machines, so I walked around the line and went to the other machine with no line. As I walked out the door with my Powerball ticket, the people still in line gave me the most puzzled looks ................. I just silently thanked them for their donation! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
If you have a couple or few stores you can go to....please try this for about a week or so. I know it'll be hard but it works. If you have 5 or 6 stores, it's even better. Limit yourself to 2 out of each bin - $20's - at each store. I watched a guy this morning buy ticket after ticket of the Cash Extravaganza - $20. He was there with 4 tickets laying on the table when I got in there, went back to the bin got another so I assumed losers...went back 3 more times while I was in line and

Pennsylvania still has winners out there!Reply
Believe it or not..the Fast $25's aren't too bad as far as symbols go and I've found 6 of the symbols so far. I don't play them too often but will choose 3 to make up a $5 amount along with a $2 ticket when the pickins' are slim in a machine. The $20 ones sometimes don't do squat and it's refreshing to find a 25x ticket cost on a winner once in awhile. Still only $25 but beats being out $60 for $0 on 3 $20's lol

Playing every ticket from a machine.Reply
We also have stores here with multiple vending machines plus large counter displays for tickets. And some stores I've seen have the entire wall behind the cashier covered with shelves and shelves of tickets, multiple copies of each game so people can choose which roll they want to play. That would be a few hundred dollars worth to play 1 ticket from each open pack there. I don't think that was the point was to buy a ticket off every single roll in the store and all the duplicate games. Just p

Lottery player says scanner not accurateReply
I am curious to learn how exactly Mr Campisi s experience with the Florida lottery ticket scanner, complaints to the Exxon station owners, the Florida Lottery and by extension GTech, found its way to the Press, and get published. Who among the four key players in this event, Mr Campisi, the Exxon Station, the Florida Lottery, and GTech could have called the press conference or issued the press release that granted print-level status to Campisi s experience with a Florida lottery ticket scanne

Minn. store clerk accused of "micro-scratching" lottery ticketsReply
Many states have rules regarding how many scratch tickets may be scanned without producing a winner. If you go over the limit it will block the machine out and likely cause an inquiry to the store by the lottery. This is an old scam. It amazes me how many ways dishonest people can come up with to cheat people. A C-store tried to scam me yesterday. When confronted did the no speak English routine. A good rule of thumb regarding regular lottery tickets is that if you use the customer area scanner

are clerks supposed to scan scratch tickets before you pay?Reply
I usually have my tickets scanned during purchase. Not each individual one, but if I have 2+ of the same ticket they will scan the first ticket however many times. I always just assumed it was the easiest way for them to ring them up, like when you're at any grocery store, the cashier can either scan the barcode or input whatever info they need for it to ring up correctly on the machine. If you want to get the right answer I'd suggest just asking some of the clerks why they scan it. I'd
